On Monday, the Emlo-To Public Organisation (EPO), in Atoizu under Zunheboto district, informed that it would impose a ‘complete restriction of vehicular movement indefinitely’ in the stretch of road between Pukhobokita to Kitsakita, via Atoizu. It had submitted a representation to the state government seeking ‘immediate maintenance’ of said road on August 31 last, a press release from the EPO informed. “However, no positive steps or response has been initiated by the concern department (sic) even though the stipulated 15 days given time has been expired.” It informed that the blockade will start from September 26 next. “The EPO appeal to the entire public for cooperation and bear with the inconveniences during the bandh.”
